Supporting the transition to EV service & repair

The EV Training Academy will practical advice on electric vehicles with demos and training delivered in partnership with the Institute of the Motor Industry and Our Virtual Academy. A series of 30-minute sessions will run throughout each day of the trade event.

Guests can get hands-on with two demo vehicles and ask EV experts anything about hybrids and EVs. The EV Training Academy programme will cater for all technicians with both beginner and advanced-level tuition on o er. The free sessions, delivered alongside training vehicles, include Essential EV Training; HV System Isolation (low-voltage service disconnect) for beginners and Advanced EV Training; as well as Plug-in Charging (proximity pilot circuit).

Essential EV Training will demonstrate the high-voltage isolation process using a low-voltage service disconnect, which is becoming an increasingly popular solution used by vehicle manufacturers. The Advanced EV Training session o ers businesses the opportunity to learn about the proximity pilot circuit used in Type 2 plug-in charging system.

Steve Nash, CEO of the IMI added: “This focus on EV skills is great news because our latest data shows that by 2030, 103,000 IMI TechSafe quali ed technicians will be needed to work with electric vehicles in the UK alone. However, we are currently predicting a potential shortfall of 4,500 quali ed technicians by 2029, increasing to a massive skills gap of 16,000 by 2032.”

Nash adds: “It is critical that consumer con dence in electric vehicles is not eroded by a lack of ability of garages to service, maintain, and repair the new drivetrain.”
